Chuck Schumer on Qatari Jet: ‘This Gift Screams National Security Risk; It Is Bribery in Broad Daylight’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “Mr. President, earlier today, the Defense Department announced the U.S. has formally accepted a luxury 747 jetliner as a gift from Qatar to be used as Air Force One. It’s the largest foreign gift to an American president in modern history, one Donald Trump says will go to his presidential library after the term — after his term. This gift is outrageous. Donald Trump will berate companies to ‘eat his tariffs’ and tell parents to pay yet more for groceries, but is accepting a luxury plane he can use as Air Force One. This gift screams national security risk. It is bribery in broad daylight. Donald Trump is thumbing his nose at Republicans and practically daring them to stop him. Well, today, the Senate can.”
